There is a variety of capitalist systems in Europe that many scholars attempt to classify using social, political and economical determinants. Among a diversity of methods, institutional approach has received a growing recognition in the recent years. It tries to explain why the European countries’ socio-economic models follow different paths in their developments through analysis of formal and in

Purpose: To find out in what ways signs of healthier varieties in store, affect and possible change, customer behaviour. Methodology: The study has a positivistic view on the world. The research is conducted by an abductive approach using theory and empirical data alternately. Both quantitative and qualitative methods have been adopted in order to see changes in customer behaviour as well as expla

Mot bakgrund av att det finns forskning som visar på samband mellan arbetstillfredsställelse, hälsa och effektivitet, blir det angeläget för organisationer att beakta hur chefer arbetar kring psykosociala faktorer i medarbetares arbetsmiljö, samt vilka konsekvenser olika typer av ledarskap får för medarbetares psykosociala arbetsmiljö. Min avsikt är därför att undersöka hur medarbetare upplever si

Uppsatsen baseras på en studie på en förskoleenhet bestående av tre förskolor, vilka angripit problematiken kring sjukskrivningar genom ett projekt, i syfte att skapa en friskare arbetsplats. Det empiriska arbetet grundar sig på tretton intervjuer bland de anställda på förskolorna och dessa analyseras med hjälp av Anthony Giddens, Ulrich Becks analyser av det samtida risksamhället samt Bosse Ange

This chapter proposes a novel ethnographic approach to global crime/criminology-an approach centered on the following four main points: (1) an attentiveness to how global dynamics afford criminal flows and transnational figurations; (2) a theoretical and methodological sensibility that moves beyond methodological nationalism; (3) a research design that follows criminal flows, rather than merely in

Background: Infection could contribute to atherosclerosis. Several experimental animal studies have suggested possible cumulative adverse effects ofrepeated infections on arterial wall. Viral infections in the upper airways are more common in diabetic patients. Methods: Common carotid artery compliance (CAC) and stiftness index (SI) were assessed by external ultrasound in 70 children (mean age 14.

Substandard and falsified (SF) medical products are a major danger to public health. They affect every region of the world, and have been identified in all major therapeutic categories. Studies from medicine, pharmacology, law and public health dominate this research area with a focus on the supply side. However, the spread of SF medical products cannot be fully understood without information abou

The study of the interaction between music and language is a small but rather active branch of musicology and linguistics. The two disciplines seldom meet. In this study we add a linguistic approach to our ethnomusicological knowledge. The cultural setting under study is Kammu, an Austroasiatic language spoken mainly in Laos. Kammu is a tone language where each syllable has a tone, either High or

Purpose: Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapies and lifestyle interventions are promising for reducing psychiatric symptoms in cancer survivors, but little is known about the contribution of specific treatment components to observed effects. A randomized factorial trial could allow for evaluation of the unique contribution of treatment components to overall treatment effects. The IN-FAC

Introduction A World Health Organization (WHO) system has recently been introduced to standardize reporting of lymph node fine-needle aspiration biopsy (LN-FNAB) cytopathology. Herein, we analyze its diagnostic performance in a routine setting.Materials and methodsWe reviewed 2274 consecutive lymph node fine-needle aspiration biopsies categorized according to the WHO system.

As a post-LOSC legal development, the precautionary principle is nowhere enunciated in the Law of the Sea Convention. Nevertheless, in the thirty years since the LOSC's adoption, the significance of the precautionary principle for marine environmental protection in general and marine resource conservation in particular has been recognised. The language of precaution, the precautionary principle an

This article examines the ever-actual desire to visualise and materialise thought-images in a historical perspective. The interest for research into thought imagery,and of visual proof production of thoughts, coincided with the invention of the camera and culminated somewhere around 1900. Together with other scientific circumstances that appeared up to 1900, such as the experimental psychology mod

This paper focuses on the issue plasticity within the framework of a micromechanical model for single-crystal shape-memory alloys. As a first step towards a complete micromechanical formulation of such models, we work with classical J(2)-von Mises-type plasticity for simplicity. The modeling of martensitic phase transitions is based on the concept of energy relaxation (quasiconvexification) in con
